The well-known Italian coach Alberto Zaccheroni evaluated the two most famous players of the recent seasons in Serie A. According to the specialist, in 2018 Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Turin's Juventus, had less impact on the country's football than Zlatan Ibrahimović, who returned to Milan in 2020. "Throughout my career I have had the opportunity to train great champions like Oliver Bierhoff, George Weah, or Adriano, but I regret one thing - not working with Zlatan Ibrahimović. He is eternal and I don't understand why he hasn't won the Ballon d'Or so far. In Italy, Zlatan has had a greater impact on the balance than C. Ronaldo. It is not a coincidence that since his arrival, other young footballers have improved. Ibrahimović not only scores goals - he instills confidence in his teammates, not carrying the team on his shoulders in difficult moments," the specialist explained to "Il Giornale".
